Articulating the Farmscape
Project Description
Design a residential college with student housing on the University of British Columbia
farm using the farm and farm functions as inspiration. The college campus must include
student housing, lecture space, eating space, and community space.
Project Solution
The experience of the farm landscape became the primary design inspiration for this project. The farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
large planes of land, subtle edge conditions that mark the boundaries between them, and the existing connections
to the greater UBC campus and Westbrook Village informed the siting and layout of the college. From the entrance of
the farm the land slopes down southwest. In an effort to save the panoramic views of the farm the educational and
community programs are sunken into the hillside. The southwest facades of the sunken programs get ample sunlight while
remaining visually unobtrusive to the landscape. The residential units and marketplace are the only buildings sited above-ground.
Large ramps allow access into the sunken parts of the building and long narrow hallways provide views out to the landscape beyond.
Subtle level changes distinguish and guide visitors to different programmed areas. Rain gardens and screens with climbing plants are
placed between each residential building . This not only solves the issue of water run-off, but also creates a semi-permeable screen of vegetation
giving individual residential units privacy from one another.

Collective Occasion
Project Description
Transform an underutilized outdoor space that resulted from urban traffic
calming measures into a place of social gathering for the surrounding
community.
Project Solution
Given that the site is located next to a school in an urban residential area
dominated primarily by apartments; this was a great opportunity to create a
much needed outdoor space that both adults and children could enjoy. To
relate to the scale of the human body, a 2-meter by 2-meter grid was laid over
the site and blocks were extruded to provide areas of seating, lounging, and
performing. Two hills were created by extruding these cubes with a
path running between them to allow for the existing bike route through the
site to still function. One hill contains a large platform that acts
as a stage where performances or demonstrations could take
place while the other hill provides terraced seating for that
stage in addition to other lounging areas of assorted
scales. The goal was to create an outdoor space that
functions at the scale of the individual while also
being flexible enough to accommodate larger
groups or community events.
Process
Use these basic
dimensions to create an
urban topography
Overlay 2 meter x 2
meter grid across the
site to correspond with
human scale
Comfortable seating
height is 0.50 meters

Public Participation
Project Description
Design a community center adjacent to the public space that was created in the
previous project and use that design as inspiration for the community center.
The design must include relevant community programing given the context of
the site.
Schoolyard
Project Solution
The residential nature of the neighborhood in addition to the popular bike
route that runs though the site gave insight into what community programming
would benefit the area. Seen as a pavilion where the outdoor grid was allowed
to continue into its interior, the outdoor space extends inside to create a raised
cafĂŠ area where a large movable partition blurs the boundary between interior
and exterior. The extruded blocks from the outdoor space also continue inside
to provide raised work areas for a self-serve bike repair shop where local
residents can come in and work on their bikes or get help from volunteers. A
private room located at the back of the building provides an enclosed meeting
space. On the second floor a daycare is located above the meeting room and
a gym is located across the building above the bike shop where gym-goers can
look out onto the public space below. The manipulation of the grid provided a
method for organizing these community-focused programs within the building
while maintaining a relationship with the public space found outside.
